Large Donations Spur Zimmerman Defense Fund

Donate to the George Zimmerman Defense Fund via PayPal:

A handful of large donations have bolstered the Zimmerman Defense Fund, bringing the total raised in a week to more than $77,000. This week’s surge in donations has allowed us to to pay outstanding liabilities, which were in excess of $20,000, and make significant investments in deposition transcripts and experts.

We have important hearings Thursday and Friday of this week, and jury selection for the trial begins on Monday. During trial, the Zimmerman defense team will be “all hands on deck,” and there will be additional operational expenses. We also anticipate increased security expenses during trial.

The support we have received in the last week has given us hope that we will be able to meet our goal of $120,000.
